the 'claim-jumping' is working fine with me...

and I just ran through facebook and didn't see anything there that should explain this, here...

(do you have something in mind that I might have missed)


Just at what is going on in my personal life. Won't have to go far to see what is going on.  It has put me in not such a good mood on everything.  Unfortunately that means even on here I am likely to be moody.

Yes teasing me over that particular issue isn't exactly the smartest idea.  I tend to get a little trigger happy when I am upset.  That said I will continue to uphold what NAPs we have signed.  Though Freeze since we have no NAP with SSS perhaps it is best you stay out of my crosshairs for a while. You are my friend and I might later on regret sending one of your ships jumping to the nearest safe zone. I doubt Raph would like me doing much but the situations reversed I imagine he might be tempted to do the same thing.

All I can say is: attack him once and your fuel station goes down.  1

Jam you misunderstood me, what I said was light humor and in no way was it teasing you. The messaged I was trying to portray while maybe not worded best, it was to relax in general. Please dont take that the wrong why, just stressing out is very bad for ones health. One of my good friends struggles with this problem and he has stressed himself out to the point he had a heart attack at the age of 33. So considering we are friends I wanted to just lighten the mood, and by no means was it directed towards fueling the fire you already have. Sorry if it offended you.

I know which is why I didn't snap then. But how I am doing at the moment not even light humor is a very good idea right now.

One more slight issue with this.  It needs to be made that when you set a new course using Navigation or Nav computer that the long range course set on the star chart is erased.  This was not the case on one of my ships. I set a simple course back to Sol and set it on auto pilot. The ship was near sol and I wanted it to jump while I was offline. I didn't realize it still had a course set to the wormhole that leads to the giant star cluster. This is a location it had automaticly had set when I was having that one bug before and carried over from another ship.  So my ship followed that itself and ran out of fuel partway there.  This was pretty annoying.

JJL this is not a bug but the way the system has been programed. You can have a LR course set and at some point look here and there for whatever reasons and after that resume your LR course. It is a neat feature.

Unless of course your wanting to use autopilot for a normal jump.  Which is impossible to do if there is that course laid in from the Star Maps.  I really think that when a new course is set elsewhere, that choice should be overridden or at the very least the autopilot follows that new course rather then the Star Maps one.  For that matter we should be able to set up chain jump courses with the nav computer itself.  Also there is no way to actually cancel a course you set using the Star Maps.  So any use of autopilot for regular jumps or done from the nav computer can't be used if you already got a course set in with the Star Maps. So say you change course.  Forget for a while a Star Map course was set for that ship. Then decide to jump somewhere else and set up the autopilot, it will follow whatever course you set on the star maps instead.

then go back to the star map and cancel the LR jump, or simply disengage the autopilot while you are 'off course' and re-engage it when you are ready to resume. It's really no more annoying than it is when we 'power-down' for shorter timers.

You can't cancel it. I just posted that you can't. Try reading my post all the way through.  The only option if you want autopilot to work when you got one of those set and wanna go somewhere else is to set an entirely new course to the destination your wanting to go that is nearby.

I just tested that and you are correct. 

The only way to stop it is to disengage the auto-pilot.

I don't have issues with the way it is now. There are many many more important updates that need to be implemented, IMO.  1
